erm, I thought it was 6 on the rooftop that couldn't get anyone up?
course he gets me up quite easily, but I wasn't on his team so that's no help
I was making fun of him a lot saying two days in a row he fucks up on that rooftop (lol)


I think everyone except myself has quit l4d

they require new content

i'm ok with it tho i really couldn't stand the bitching anymore...

[fido77]

seriously... thats lame.

[=R6= Raile]

well i dunno.
i'm pretty bored of it myself
you may or may not have noticed i prob only play once an evening this past week..

[Magik5]

i can sympathise with them to a degree.

but to quit all together is a little extreme.

i hate the fact that versus is restricted to 2 maps. if we did an sm vs r6 on say death toll with monkeys mod... would they be interested. would you for that matter?

[=R6= Raile]

sure i'm interested..

but you have to look at it from their perspective..
Sam and Twon are playing PR as it just released a new patch that has MAJOR changes
Harkin is playing company of heroes cuz for some reason he didn't get into it when it came out like 2 years ago..

I'll be playing PR too, eventually when I download it. (maybe next week)

its kinda like, you play l4d regardless of lack of content, if you have nothing better to play.. but they have other stuff..

I'm getting bored of l4d tbh, and can't see myself playing it much longer without more content. they've fucked the game IMO with the tank/witch thing, combine that with lack of content and I just don't have as much fun playing it anymore.

To be honest, the maps thing doesn't bother me. People always going on aabout 2 maps, its actually 2 campaigns, so in reality it's 10 maps. It's still not great but compare that to 24/7 strike ar karkand for 2 years

That and it requires a lot more sneakyness and teamwork, which even knowing the maps well still needs a lot more work.. on top of that I don't know the maps that well - am stiill finding the odd room here and there I didn't know existed

CoH will get very old very quickly. PR I can't say much about since I didn't play too much of it. Agree that the changes to the tank aren't good, but still haven't found them game ruining. I just hope they get the official SDK out with the new maps soon.

If you want to get instant maps the easiest thing to do is import all the maps from CSS and TF2 and use them in left 4 dead - since it's the same engine

i agree with monkey here tbh...

have to say though, i like l4d because it FORCES team play. thats the major downfall with bf2, u can go lone shark where/when ever you want, and not have any social interaction with the whole 15-30 other players on ur team.

i guess pr is great for that too... but the gameplay/overall feel of it IMO gets overshadowed by L4Ds.

as for other online games... i only got into online gaming with bf2, and bf2/pr/l4d are the only games ive played online, and out of all of them, i prefer l4d, so ill be sticking with it for a huile.

[=R6= Raile]

i find l4d relies a lot more on the maps to keep the game interesting. while i enjoy the gameplay, it is quite arcadey.. very limited amount of stuff to do. very little tactics. its quite straight forward. games like CSS and BF2, you could play for years on the same maps, because I think its the other players and the interaction with them that make the gameplay.. with l4d its more the maps, and therefore it needs more content. atleast my opinion anyways.

[=R6= Raile]

the randomness of the maps is one of the major selling points for me on the game..

which is partially why i am so pissed about the tank change. it has ruined that..

[Magik5]

like monkey says, i dont think its a game ruining issue, i mean fair enough if it means that much to you, but it kinda seems its just an excuse for something bigger. /no offense intended....

[=R6= Raile]

well as you can see i'm still playing the game

but to be honest with you, the game, before the patch, was not nearly as random as the hype had been talking about for the past 2 years before it's release. not to mention how linear the levels are. i had been keeping up with pretty much everything that came out of the press about this game.. as i was really excited for it. the whole bit of it being random was really pressed as if each time you played would never be the same as the last. sure i guess technically that's true, but it really comes down to the players.. I mean, if you play campaign mode, each level is pretty much the same play through each time. I was actually qutie disappointed with this when the game came out.

the game is still heavily scripted and very linear.. the SDK needs to get properly released really soon.

[Magik5]

well i guess im looking at it at a compleltly different perspective to you, its probably because i only heard of the game about a month b4 xmas when you told me about it.... i never got to the see the hype.

but i also agree, full on sdk soon will hopefully change the way you feel

[=R6= Raile]

well that's the positive. as i've always said i'm quite excited to see what the community does with this game..

[Cabletwitch]

I'd say welcome, but I think you've been here long enough now that we've probably already said that. Or something. Anyway, good playing with you, and here's to more games in the future!
